This summer Peninsula School of Art and Peninsula State Park partnered to offer a residency experience that puts both art making and the environment at its center. Inaugural artists Maysey Craddock and Tomiko Jones were invited to explore the state park through the lens of their individual research; discovering new connections in their practices, creating site-responsive works, and gaining a deeper understanding of this particular place and its environmental circumstances. The residency experience culminates in the exhibition Of Place, curated by Shan Bryan-Hanson, featuring work created by Maysey Craddock and Tomiko Jones prior to and during their residency sessions.
